Chatbox II: The Rebirth

My brother woke me up early. Sigh. I'm like "it's not one yet! go away!"

 

Yeah, i am not alone.
@wyer. ENT, do you have a deveated septum? I would not do surgery. Trust me on this one.
@sweet. You are back, my daughter finished her story, yeah it is so cute. i am tempted to post it, but i didn't write it so I don't know the rules about posting a seven year old work, hehe

 

Post it in your blog. With her permission of course. lol

 

I am to dumb to figure out the blog. I tried once, but then agine who would want to read my blog, life love sex kids and stories but hey who knows. i think she would say ok mom but tell everyone it was me. Then she would say, I want money for it mom. She is a real peace of work, but i love her with all my might.

 

I have had the surgery. It is NOT fun. Though I suppose it depends on what surgery your doctor is planning. However, after surgery the sinus infection that lasted more than 6 months finally went away and so did the headaches, so it was worth it. The surgery itself sucked and having cotton packing up my sinuses for a week and a half really sucked. Being able to finally breath afterward....worth it.

 

Nope. Septum is as str8 as an arrow. Sinus trouble is the Fuentes Family Curse.

 

Do you lavage? There are some solutions you can get at the pharmacy or salt water works as well. It is not pleasant, but it does help.

 

@wyer- Oh that really sucks. I have had several people I know have surgery on there nose, and they said it is the worst thing they have ever been through. Gauze shoved up the nose and when you pull it out, it feels like your brain is coming with it. I get infections all the time, and sinus problems, it sucks but I would never want surgery. Then agine it might help.

 

Lavage is about the only thing I have not tried. I have looked at netty pots on the internet forever, but I just know that doing this would give me the feeling of drowning. My diaphragm draws tight at the sight of someone using a netty and I just don't understand how they don't choke and sputter through the whole thing.

Edit ~ And of course there is the scene from Six Feet Under when the mom finds her b/f's netty pot and asks him what it is only to explode at a later point during dinner about him and his, "disgusting nostril jar!"

 

I haven't used a netty pot. I have used a bulb syringe. But...same principle. You do feel like you are drowning. Then you go to blow your nose and it is like the snot never ends...but then...you can breath! Breathing is a good thing.

 

I've never had a sinus infection and I can't say I'm upset about that.

 

It is like a kidney infection...only in your face and with a lot of snot instead of a lot of pee.

 

Delicious!

 

At least twice a week 'Mina posts something that makes me have to hit my mute button as I laugh, and then have to lie to my clients that I was having a sneezing fit.

 

Well. if she makes you blow out beverage through your nose, it may even clear your sinuses!

 

Would that it were true, I would have to add 'Mina to my X-mass card list.

 

Facts interesting to Wrey #733:

Although the correct word for an ENT is nearly identical English vs Spanish, I have much trouble saying otorinolaryngologist, but no trouble at all saying otorrinolaringologo.

Go figure.

 

I used to mute my microphone so I could growl at my customers.

And I don't think I can say the English or Spanish for the proper name of an EMT doctor.

 

I just call mine the snot doctor

 

MUTE

"I'm so sorry, ma'am. Im having the worst allergy day and I had to hit my mute button so as not to sneeze repeatedly in your ear."

 

You don't wanna know what I call the gynecologist

 

That is possibly the best word in the Spanish language.
Up until now, it was hablaba.

I love otorrinolaringologo. I just said it out loud with my (fabulous ) Spanish accent, and I feel giggly and empowered now.

 

My six year old sister has been reading Macbeth today, and told me she enjoyed it. She's weird.

 

What's so weird about liking Macbeth? Shakespeare is full of action.

 

Only like... she's six years old, I didn't really expect her to like it... ;-)
